“…The most obvious advantages of CMRs are that they are very functional in the reactor by selectively removing a product, containing solid or liquid phase catalysts on its surface or in it, or in some cases acting as a direct catalyst. Catalytic membrane reactors also; It complies with green and sustainable chemical and chemical engineering principles with its lower energy requirement, lower pollution feature and effective-efficient system performance (Zhang et. al.…”

<p>Production of glycerol carbonate (GLC) that is a fuel additive from green solvent dimethyl carbonate (DMC) and biodiesel by-product glycerin is environmentally friendly synthesis. The usage of waste glycerol from biodiesel plant makes the production cost lower. When the membrane aided technique is used for the production of GLC, this technique will be very promising technique. Because membrane applications are environment and energy friendly economical applications. The production with membrane aided can be made by catalytic membrane. In this study, catalytic membranes were developed from synthetic and natural materials to produce GLC by transesterification reaction between glycerol and DMC. The reaction gives methanol as byproduct. The catalytic membranes were used methanol retentive material for increasing the reaction conversion of glycerol to glycerol carbonate. The synthetic catalytic membrane materials were poly(vinylalcohol)(PVA), poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP), Poly(4-vinylpyridine) (P4VP) polymers and CaO. The natural catalytic membrane material was chitosan biopolymer and waste eggshell. The properties of by-product methanol retentive of the polymeric membranes were determined from sorption tests. The tests were shown that the catalytic membranes would sorp by-product methanol during reaction. This pointed out that GLC synthesis can be made by membrane aided technique such as membrane reactor.</p>

“…Over the past decades, the potential of membrane reactors towards a cleaner and more sustainable future has become more apparent. [1][2][3] Catalytic membrane reactors (CMRs) are able to simultaneously perform separation and reaction processes offering a unique opportunity to increase the overall system efficiency and decrease the energy consumption in a single unit. More specifically, the application of oxygen permeable membranes with mixed ionic and electronic conductivity (MIEC) properties is an alternative technology for oxygen separation from air.…”

“…This precludes the need for additional separation and recycling units; as a result, the process becomes greener and environmentally sustainable. Furthermore, membrane reactors can enhance the conversion and selectivity of the reactions, decrease mass transfer limitations and have a greater thermal stability, as opposed to the conventional reactors (Zhang et al 2018).…”

Population growth has led to higher consumption of fossil fuel, and subsequently to a major increase of greenhouse gases emissions to the atmosphere, thus inducing global warming. Fossil fuel supplies are depleting, and the price of these fuels is increasing. Moreover, there are concerns about related emissions of toxic pollutants such as sulphur dioxide and aromatic hydrocarbons. Here, we review alternative fuel technologies. We focus on how membrane reactors improve the existing production processes of renewable fuels. Advantages and environmental benefits of membrane reactors are compared to the conventional techniques. Membrane reactors have been applied successfully to improve biodiesel, hydrogen and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. Membranes help the conversion of products, whilst shifting the equilibrium of the reaction and reducing undesired by-products. Membrane reactors also overcome immiscibility issues that hinder conventional reactor processes. Overall, membrane reactors reduce cost and energy needed for the treatment of wastewater from fuel production.
